Lyrics
I've been held in someone's arms before
He said the things you're thinking
He doesn't say them anymore
Now I've come to disbelieve those things that people say
But tonight I've got to hold on tight
When you look at me that way
Don't say you love me
Let's not pretend
I've seen the world fall apart
I can't let my heart get broken up again
Don't say you want to spend your life
When you just want to spend the night
Don't say you love me
Let's just say goodnight
I've been lonesome other nights
I wanted someone to hold me
But it didn't feet right
I never knew 'till I met you just what the others lack
And every minute that you look at me
It's getting harder to hold back
Don't say you love me
Let's not pretend
I've seen the world fall apart
I can't let my heart get broken up again
Don't say you want to spend your life
When you just want to spend the night
Don't say you love me
Let's just say goodnight
It would be so easy just to close my eyes again
And go ahead and make believe this night will never end
Oh but darling, in the dawning of another day
You'll be gone (you'll be gone) and I'll go on
I can't throw my heart away
I can't throw my heart away
Don't say you love me
Let's not pretend
I've seen the world fall apart
I can't let my heart get broken up again
Don't say you want to spend your life
When you just want to spend the night
Don't say you love me
Let's just say goodnight
Don't say you love me
Just say goodnight
